I'm looking for a nice lightweight programmers editor for Linux/UNIX. I currently use nedit for normal text, and Eclipse when I want a new IDE. Nedit has some UI quirks, and hasn't been updated in 5 years or so.
What nedit gives me and i need in the new editor:

Nice Simple GUI

Non-modal (I don't like vi)

Lightweight (I don't like emacs, too much stuff to
remember, remembering gets in the way
of coding)

Geany is a text editor using the GTK2 toolkit with basic features of an integrated development environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. It supports many filetypes and has some nice features.
